Answer 1

There are at least two things glaringly wrong with the logic. First of all, it assumes that the actions of one American university shows the thought processes of all or even a majority of liberals. Second, it assumes that the invitation itself was an indication that the university agreed with him on the issues. Neither of these are logically correct. The actions of the university speak only for the university, and they do not indicate that the university agrees with his positions.

Answer 2

There is little, if any logic to the phrase. There is no mention, for instance, of what issues are "agreed upon". There is very sparse truth in the idea that an American university inviting soemone to speak reflects a liberal position. Ann Coulter should get an education before she comments on educatiuon or anything else.

Answer 3

That is based on the frequency which conservative speakers don't get invited, or get dis-invited from speaking engagements at liberal universities. So, it does follow a certain line of logic.

Similarly, one could look at how often conservative speakers are shouted down and compare that to the treatment of Ahmadinejad - that is, the respect shown to Ahmadinejad that is not accorded to American conservatives.

So it follows a rough logic, but it's not really true. But it should serve to get liberals thinking about why they show deference to the speech of a know liar, a bully, a tyrant, simply because, like them, he hates President Bush.

Answer 4

Ann Coulter never bothers with logic. She's just a Yahoo troll with a bigger audience. It seems obvious from the introduction by the university official that Columbia has no respect for either him or his beliefs. Ann is counting on the majority of the public to, as usual, not find out what the real facts are but just listen to what she says and accept it in kneejerk fashion.

Answer 5

Ann Coulter. Ad nauseam.

To anyone disagreeing with Ahmedinajad speaking at Columbia: the US prides itself on freedom, the pursuit of that freedom, and the right to express that freedom, so we should not allow anyone to take advantage of it?

What the F**K have US soldiers and citizens been dying for all these 225 years?

Answer 6

"If a university invites someone to speak, you know the faculty agrees with the speaker"

The ignorance and lack of education of Ann Coulter shines through like a black cloud in the sunshine.

Answer 7

Make the world a better place and punch Ann Coulter in her ugly, hate spewing face.

Answer 8

This is just another logical fallacy from the mouths of illogical pundits. Instead of actually debating the issue at hand, these far-right conservative hacks engage in "guilt by association" attacks to discredit others as a way of propping up their idiotic line of "reasoning."

Answer 9

Coulter does not speak for all conservative republicans nor would a gay man wearing a leather thong with a strap-on dildo and a dog collar while shouting for anarchy on a street corner be accepted as speaking for all leftest democrats.
Try again please.

Added:
No offense is intended;I'm trying to point out the error of your logic argument.Extremists on either side are simply divisive,their point of view holds little merit.

Answer 10

It's from Ann Coulter the polemic, no logic is necessary.
